I use a technique for passwords that I have not seen anyone mention. I use the
first letters of a phrase that is simple to remember (for me) that relates to
the site. This makes a "word" that is not in any dictionary, and is typically
long enough. The truly paranoid could put a digit or special symbol between
the letters also.
